I (24) just found out that my girlfriend of 18 months, (22 years old, not 18 months) cheated on me a few months back. Should I stick by her or break up?
Apparently she was unfaithful for a few weeks and then stopped. I do not feel angry, just very dissapointed. I lost a lot of respect for her. It is just such a childish thing to do.
I was in a very good state mentally about our relationship before. I have previously broken up with her twice because I felt unfulfilled. This was not due to her but because I was a coward who did not dare to spend enough time on my own to chase my own goals and desires. I realised this after the second breakup and have since changed my behaviour for the better, which has worked great.
The guy she cheated with (22) was in a band with my girlfriend and I. I knew he had feelings for her, but trusted her to keep enough distance after talking about it. He used to be her best friend, now they are not talking.
She says she regrets it and still wants to be with me, but I do not know if I should. Like I said before, I like our relationship a lot now, or at least I did. But I am scared that she is lying to herself and that she should not be with me.
Part of me wants to break up with her and part of me wants to give her a second chance. I know she loves me, but that meana she cheated on someone she loves, and I cannot respect that.
TL;DR
Gf cheated on me with former band mate, should I break it up?
